Hey guys,

Im thinking of buying one of those for my weekend "fun" car.

I know that Z is much newer and probably more reliable in sense that its Aus delivered and usually untracked.

Some things that I will/wont do:

Will not wonna mod it (just want a stock quickish car)

Will go for weekend drives as I have a corolla as a daily car

Ive never driven a Z before but have been in a few R34 GTTs... how do they compare when driven? Handling and acceleration wise?

If there is a child forum on here for Zs, please show me.

Thanks

Hrmm if you keep both cars stock I would go the 350z. Otherwise if its modded I would go the R34 GTT.

Stock acceleration times should be similar but handing wise the 350z should be better.

If you don't plan to mod it, then 350Z is a better package straight out of the box. I have a 350GT which is very similar to the Z and they are awesome cars for those weekend mountain runs or lazy cruises...

you might wanna ask those guys at the Z forums for opinions on the Z:

I've had both, I got rid of my 350z 06' track model for my r34 thuogh... and i love the r34 10x more then i ever loved my Z.... The Z is alot more nicer feel cos of the leather and everything about it.. but the r34 is more of an agresive feel since mine has over 200rwkw.. but you sound like more of a 350z person.. Go the 350z but i choose an r34 turbo anyday of the week..

Straight out of the box, 350Z is alot better in everything, except lack of turbo and has two seats.

But if you can find a nice example of R34 GT-T coupe, mildly modded, clean and low kms, maybe it's worth a look.

Or maybe you could consider V35 coupe? :/

Good luck.

Now, bang for your buck; would you buy a 350Z or a 370GT?

All I can say is I got the 370GT sedan with the 7spd box, and its a gem.

Probably cost around the same as a used 350z. There fast and feel upmarket.

Agreed.

370GT (coupe or sedan) are really good-looking cars, both look and performance wise. I would still prefer 370GT coupe to 370Z.

The GT is so rare it turns more eyes than a 335Ci that costs twice more

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
